Matthew Brandon Thompson

March 22, 1978 - September 26, 2019

Matthew Brandon Thompson, 41, died unexpectedly on September 26, 2019. Matt was loved for his kindness, his generosity, his laugh, his sense of humor and his commitment to his friends. We have learned how deeply he touched so many people during his time with us. He had a passion for sports ... especially the Wildcats, NASCAR and fantasy leagues! Matt graduated from Ballard High School and Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, RI. He spent most of the last 15 years working in various capacities of the vehicle rental business. He currently was a Manager for Avis/Budget's office at the airport. Matt was preceded in death by his brother, Christopher Graves Thompson, and by his grandparents, Elizabeth and Wilson Graves, and Jane and Harry Thompson. He is survived by his parents, Kathy and Hank Thompson; his aunts, Dennise Graves Schuler (Ron), and Ann Thompson Maggard (Ed); cousins in Dallas, Lexington and Asheville; and many, many friends locally and across the country. He leaves behind art and photos by which we can extend our memories of Matt. Visitation will be held at Pearson's, 149 Breckinridge Lane, Louisville on Thursday, October 3 from 4:00 - 8:00.
